Day 1....Again....Again...
I promise you I am not an excuse maker. I am not. I am extremely accountable for my actions and I never put the blame on anyone else or anything else.
But for this one post, I am going to make excuses.
See, I was in restaurants for 20 years as a manager, chef, and a general manager. I worked 80 hours a week and did not have any time for myself. Which means I did not have time to be depressed. I was always on the go and I had to make decisions quick. Now, mind you that being in restaurants absolutely sucks. Like truly sucks. You do not take days off and you miss important days with your family. But it was my life.
Then I left. I got what I thought was “the opportunity of a lifetime.” Let me be clear, there is no such thing. I was connected with a man who was my partner and we worked together for four years. The problem was, my partner was a horrible person. Yeah, if you follow me on Twitter you know I am quick to call someone horrible. I assure you, this man was the worst. But we worked together until our company collapsed. And then I went to work at a new place.
Once again, I was set up for failure. But, I had more control so things were not as bad and money was coming in. So it worked out.
That is until…
The Pandemic.
So the Pandemic took that business away. And kind of left me alone. Like someone walking through their house after everything is packed and moved out. And I was lost. Lost because restaurants is no longer and the industry I was in is no longer. So I took a chance. I decided to sell art.
Selling art is not fun. Its not fun when people put a value on something you take pride in. My art is me. Its a part of me and that is what I would sell to people. And I have met some amazing people doing it. But times are tough for everyone. Selling art is getting harder. Everything is getting harder.
But I am not stopping. I am basically explaining that this is the road I have taken in life, and my depression caught up with me over the last couple of months. I hid it as much as I could, but with everything going on, it spiked last week. To a point where I just did not want to do anything.
And now that ends. Today is my Day 1. I have said this numerous times. I will continue to sell art but a little differently. Same with sports card. But I am not going to promote me and my journey. Here I will be posting 4-5 times a week on a variety of subjects. And also adding Video. Some posts will be behind a paywall of $5 per month/$50 per year or whatever you wanted to give. But what I am going to give you here is me. My life. My views. More than 280 characters. So I went to the gym and worked out for 45 minutes. It has been 2 fucking years since I worked out for 45 minutes. I ate well. Like I used to. And I am kind of just bringing it all together.
